Actor Don Cheadle had Rock’s back when he retweeted Chris’ message with a simple “Haha.” But that only added Cheadle to some Twitter user’s enemies lists.

Cheadle later jumped into the Twitter fray, debating the comment with others. “Where exactly is the bigotry in that joke? Who is the victim? 18th century whites?” Cheadle wrote in a later tweet.

Actor Zach Braff also joined the fray, tweeting, “Slaves weren’t freed for another 90 years. So maybe just enjoy some of the fireworks…”

Apparently Rock could care less about the digital dust up. His next tweet was about a potential New York Knicks trade. But one reader found a connection even there. Lincolntf wrote to Rock, “White men trading black men amuses you these days, eh?”
